Night Rose

"Each car starts at a different time. It's not about who crosses the finish line first, but who takes the shortest time! We don't have an advantage on the mountain roads, but the muddy rural roads in the second stage are where we have an advantage."

Su Jin's fingers flew across the keyboard, typing away and leaving behind a string of information that Tu Ying couldn't understand at all.

Tu Ying rubbed her tingling scalp. "Oh no! My scalp is starting to itch!"

"If your scalp itches, go take a shower..." Su Jin said speechlessly.

Tu Ying became even more frustrated. "Hey, that's not what I meant! You clearly understood, didn't you? You're just pretending not to understand."

"How's our speed?" Zhou Zheng's voice rang out again.

Su Jin quickly scanned the locations and departure times of each red dot, making precise calculations in her mind. "Not bad, keep up the speed, we can be a little more aggressive in the safe zone."

"I've been waiting for you to say that for so long." Zhou Zheng sighed, once again pushing the latest braking point to the limit, cornering extremely aggressively, using drift lines to try to get out of the corner as quickly as possible.

Wang Tianle was used to his driving style, and even though Zhou Zheng was so easily startled, he could calmly recite the route.

"I meant the safe zone!" Su Jin emphasized.

Zhou Zheng gave a perfunctory reply, "Yes, it's safe!"

Su Jin looked up at the screen, and suddenly, a red dot flashed rapidly, and the base's rescue helicopter took off directly.

The first accident of the rally has occurred.

Su Jin's expression changed slightly. "What's going on?"

"The second car overturned! According to the video from the scene, the rear of the car was shattered all over the ground, but the people should be alright." Tu Ying's face was tense, and she didn't even realize that she was biting her cheek.

"There's a roll cage, so it's safe," Su Jin said softly. "The parts will be cleaned up immediately, so it won't affect the cars behind."

"Zhou Zheng, be careful! There's an accident ahead. Be extra cautious when you're going around the bend!" Su Jin notified via her earpiece.

"Yes," Zhou Zheng replied.

Wang Tianle and Zhou Zheng exchanged a glance, their feelings complicated and hard to describe.

"Keep your speed up, the first stage is about to end, and your strengths are coming up. The straightaway is a mix of gravel and mud, watch your tires," Su Jin said in a deep voice.

"receive."

The mountain road descends straight down, and after a buffer section, the road ahead suddenly opens up, with a straight stretch that is simply perfect for racing.

In order to maintain speed on mountain roads, some racers are relatively conservative in their choice of tires. These muddy and gravel roads are not easy to drive on, and changing tires would take a long time. Most people would choose to drive until the tires are worn out before changing them.

The tires that Su Jin chose for them can make up for the advantage they lost on the mountain roads on this section. As long as they drive carefully, they should have no problem getting through this section.

"Left fourth long bend, full throttle!" Wang Tianle shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the race car in front slowed down, its tires spun rapidly, kicking up a cloud of dust that instantly reduced their visibility.

Giving full throttle in this situation is very dangerous, but if they are constantly being overtaken by the cars in front, they won't be able to gain speed.

"Brother Zhou! Don't let up! Trust me!" Wang Tianle shouted.

Su Jin stared at the two intertwined cars on the screen, her fingers clenched tightly.

This race car had clearly lost its chance to win the championship and was deliberately obstructing other teams in the middle of the road.

If Zhou Zheng and his group rush over, they can seize the initiative; if they fail, they will be maliciously kept behind the car.

"brush!"

Every cell in Zhou Zheng's body was screaming for danger, but his body calmly and clearly obeyed commands. He turned the steering wheel all the way, and the car drifted out of the corner, almost touching the taillights of the car in front!

As the dust settled, the track became clear!

The car behind caught up unwillingly, and this time it was Zhou Zheng's turn to be the lead car, making it get a mouthful of dust!

With visibility obstructed, the car behind did not dare to overtake.

If Zhou Zheng hadn't remained remarkably calm, he would have eliminated himself in the dust.

Su Jin stared at the red dot flashing across the screen, her heart pounding.

Zhou Zheng successfully overtook the car! This car can no longer stop him.

Go for it, Zhou Zheng! Your shackles have been broken; it's time to show them your speed!

The racing car's performance completely unleashed Zhou Zheng's power, and he drove this beast straight towards the finish line! Gradually, he caught the tail of the spirits.

Of the three race cars in front, number two overturned halfway through, while one crossed the finish line and set a new time.

Car No. 1, 14 minutes and 45 seconds.

Car number three was left behind by Zhou Zheng and couldn't catch up at all.

The performance of car number one was not outstanding, which was within Su Jin's expectations. According to her understanding, among these teams, only the spirits could pose a threat.

Now, Zhou Zheng's car is getting closer and closer to He Zhangxing's, almost touching the back of the car.

Every time He Zhangxing rounded a bend, he tried to shake off this wretched tail, but after a long stretch of road, Zhou Zheng would relentlessly pursue him again.

In the rearview mirror, the car behind was getting closer and closer, and He Zhangxing's gaze was becoming more and more terrifying.

Huang Mao cursed angrily, "Damn it! How did he catch up?! Brother He, we have to shake him off! The Zhou family has sent people, we must win this time!"

"Do I need to tell you?" He Zhangxing said through gritted teeth.

As he watched the car behind him getting closer and closer, a thought arose in his mind.

Knock him aside!

As soon as the idea came to mind, He Zhangxing immediately put it into action.

The rear of the car slashes like a scimitar, cutting towards the car behind as it turns.

Based on their driving trajectory, if the front of Zhou Zheng's car were hit, it would spin rapidly on the ground like clothes being tossed around.

However, just as He Zhangxing was about to take action, Su Jin's voice rang out again.

"Zhou Zheng, don't fight him on the bend, let him go!"

Zhou Zheng did not question Su Jin's decision. He immediately reduced the throttle. The apex of the bend was right in front of him. Just as the two cars were about to collide, Zhou Zheng slightly tilted the front of his car, giving up half a car's width of space and letting He Zhangxing go.

With a decision made in 0.1 seconds, He Zhangxing rushed out of the bend and took the lead.

However, it was another long straight road, and He Zhangxing couldn't suppress Zhou Zheng's car as he did on the curves.

The two cars were locked in a tight battle, but He Zhangxing's hand was far less steady than Zhou Zheng's. His pre-race boasts were now being proven wrong.

"Brother He, we'll shake him off on the next few bends. He won't try to take it from us!" Yellow Hair pointed excitedly at the big bend ahead.

He won't try to take it from us.

Huang Mao's experience came entirely from the fact that Zhou Zheng had given them way during the race between the two cars.

Because they all knew that Zhou Zheng's race car was too weak when cornering and would not compete with them for the right of way, otherwise they would have been pushed off the track.

Their dilapidated convoy is simply too fragile to withstand a collision!

"Okay, I'll trust you this time."

He Zhangxing stared intently at the series of bends ahead and accelerated into them!

Zhou Zheng had anticipated that they would leave him behind on the consecutive curves, but he didn't care. Instead, he glanced at the tires of the car in front of him.

"Su Jin, do you think their tires can withstand such rapid wear and tear?"
